In fact, the loudest a human can yell is usually about 120-db. for VERY short spurts.

There's absolutely no way the 30i is putting off 100-db., unless it's under all-out acceleration.

That sounds loud even for a late model Ferraris at full acceleration which usually puts off no more than 99 to 100 decibels, when one is standing directly next to the exhaust.

Goggle for verification...
Well, I wasn't saying 30i generates 100db, I am trying to get 35d clatter level in comparison 30i with 30i as benchmark. 100 there is supposed to serve as benchmark. Sorry for the confusion.
